The Asia Pacific region consistently ranked highest among the countries for awareness, interest and importance of metal cards.The survey found that metal payment cards are one of the best tools for financial institutions to bolster brand loyalty, attract new customers and establish positive brand interactions. The survey further identified India and Indonesia as two of the top nations with awareness and affinity toward metal payment cards. Both countries had the highest percentage of customers who would feel positive about their banks because they offered metal cards, significantly higher than the average survey respondent (89 per cent vs. 58 per cent).A staggering nine of 10 consumers in India (91 per cent) would select an offer that includes a metal payment card if all rewards and benefits were equal, which isup 6 per cent from a prior Edgar, Dunn survey completed in 2019. This was the highest percentage of all regions surveyed and much higher than the global average of 70 per cent. Other Asia Pacific regions also showed a strong preference for metal cards: 82 per cent of Indonesia, 82 per cent of China, 76 per cent of Hong Kong and 71 per cent of Singapore.The survey also points to metal cards as an important decision-making trigger for the Asia Pacific consumer's choice of financial institution in conjunction with a strong loyalty and rewards program. Key survey findings for the Asia Pacific region included:* Customer Retention-Financial institutions offering metal payment cards are better able to keep their customers. India and Indonesia were among the top nations (72 per cent) that took their desire for metal cards further by indicating they would leave their bank for another that offered a metal payment card, assuming the payment card benefits and rewards were equal. Wealthy consumers in Indonesia have the greatest inclination (92 per cent) to leave their bank for one that offers a metal card.* Customer Awareness - Awareness of metal cards also grew 11 per cent in the Asia Pacific region from the prior survey. India had the highest awareness of metal cards at 76 per cent, which also had the highest growth of 18 per cent. Most of the Asia Pacific countries had greater awareness than the global average of 41 per cent, including: China 65 per cent, Indonesia 59 per cent, Singapore 49 per cent and Japan 46 per cent.* Affluent Consumers - Financial institutions can better target wealthy customers by offering a premium metal payment card solution. Metal cards would be the card of choice for affluent consumers in Indonesia (97 per cent) and India (94 per cent), if the benefits and rewards were equal to plastic options. The majority of wealthy customers in Indonesia (97 per cent) and India (93 per cent) also would feel more positive about a bank for offering a metal card.* Future Customers- Banks in Asia Pacific may be able to attract younger customers by offering metal cards. The preference for metal cards spiked among millennials (ages 25-34) across all the regions, and particularly in the Asia Pacific region, with those surveyed in China (89 per cent), India (88 per cent), Indonesia (85 per cent) and Hong Kong (81 per cent) preferring a metal card.* Recycled Metal- The report also indicated a global climate mindset, with an overwhelming majority (72 per cent) of respondents saying they would choose a payment card made of eco-friendly materials if all rewards and benefits were the same. This was particularly true in India (91 per cent) and Indonesia (84 per cent), which were among the top countries concerned about sustainability. CompoSecure's premium metal card products should be of particular interest since they contain 54 per cent post-consumer recycled material, made from an average of 65 per cent post-consumer recycled stainless steel.* Metal Attraction- According to survey respondents, the top two reasons consumers are attracted to metal payment cards are the durability and innovative design. However, metal cards also are associated with exclusivity and luxury in many countries. This is especially true in India (49 per cent), Indonesia (42 per cent) and China (41 per cent).To download the free metal card report, please visit:MethodologyThe global survey of 18,000 people in 18 markets around the world was commissioned by CompoSecure and conducted by Edgar, Dunn & Company, an independent global strategy consulting firm specializing in payments and digital financial services.
